Hi, everyone of you regular dudes, I'm back.
I was on vacation a while ago in Las Vegas, and wow was it ever beautiful!
Anyways...
Anybody tried the new version 1.7 SoftFSB proggie? The thing that's different about this one and previous versions is the option to enable "old access control". With that enabled, I could now run one of my c366 @ 616mhz, as compared to 567mhz before.
Although it only ran for less than 10 seconds with the stock heatsink/fan @ room temperature at 2.3volts, it was still a breakthru....considering it won't even boot into Win98 at 616mhz.
2.4volts may do the trick.
Stability is certainly a issue.
By the way, I've found a proggie on the web called "CPU Stability Test 1.4 By Jouni Vuorio" that does a series of intensive floating point calculations and tells you out of the numerous operations performed what percentage of it was errored.
Cool proggie.
As for the new discovery of the "newspeed.exe" proggie from Intel, I think what it does is rewrites the bios on the cpu telling it what speeds to run on those cpu that are early day preproduction cpus'. Remember the celery 266 I told you about that I'd burned, that was a preproduction cpu with multiplier unlocked. Too bad I burned it, hey?
